This is the first appearance of the BBC's controversial Halloween special Ghostwatch since its first and only transmission in 1992. So convincing was this "live" telecast from a haunted house in North London that, according to the press at least in the days following transmission, it caused a wave of panic among the British viewing public similar to that following Orson Welles' radio broadcast of 'The War of the Worlds' in the 1930s. The viewers aired their anger and distress on Points of View, Biteback, on the radio and in the press, and in thousands of personal letters and phone calls to the BBC. A decade on, and with the cat out of the bag, this remarkable piece of television drama retains its power to shock.
